Six things our smart-home engagements cover — capabilities we ship and outcomes the homeowner feels.
01
Custom Home Automation App Development
We provide our home automation development with our customers and their business goals in mind. Our team applies a custom approach as our seasoned professionals ensure the deliverables are tailored to their needs.
02
Reliable Security System Development
We create security systems according to the latest market demands. In particular, our company deals with indoor and outdoor surveillance, smart locks, and doorbells. Our solutions are based on robust authentication methods, including biometrics, fingerprints, and passwords.
03
Third-party Integrations
Our services include all possible third-party integrations your app may require. When building smart home software for our clients, we always find custom solutions and integrate the apps, systems, and plugins to achieve the desired results.
04
Enhanced Security
Home automation systems ensure a secure, centralized network allowing for surveillance, smart authentication, and monitoring activities. The end-users get better access to their security devices, including video cameras, smart locks, alarms, and motion detectors.
05
Effective Control and Management
Smart home software makes people's lives easier. It enables controlling numerous connected devices and accessories from home or remotely. On top of that, such an app tracks the appliances' performance, getting useful reports and analytical insights right in the app.
06
Increased Flexibility
The smart home industry doesn't stand still. New technologies and trends emerge as fast as lightning. However, if you build your automation platform with us, your solution will never get obsolete. We ensure high-level scalability and can optimize your app without compromising the existing business logic.
Featured engagement
A multi-tenant device cloud for a smart-home OEM.
Smart Home Cloud 4+ years Elixir · Rust · React Native
We built the device cloud and mobile experience for a smart-home OEM shipping multiple product lines into both consumer retail and B2B installer channels.
Elixir/OTP handles device telemetry and the always-on state plane; Rust does the heavy lifting on firmware signing and update orchestration; React Native delivers the homeowner and installer apps from a single codebase.
Four years on, the device fleet has grown 8× without re-architecting. The OTA pipeline has shipped hundreds of staged updates with automatic rollback — and the OEM hasn't had to recall a product since.

We speak the languages of the home.
Connected-home interoperability is held together by a tangle of standards — get them wrong, and your product stops working in the homes you most want to be in. We've shipped all of them in production.
01
Matter · Thread
CSA Matter certification, Thread mesh networking, fabric commissioning across Apple Home, Google Home and Alexa.
02
Zigbee
3.0 stack, ZCL clusters, mesh routing, coordinator/router/end-device roles for sensor-heavy deployments.
03
BLE 5.x
GATT services, secure pairing, beaconing, mesh extensions for low-power device fleets.
04
Wi-Fi Easy Connect
Frictionless provisioning via DPP / Easy Connect, captive-portal handling, multi-band steering for whole-home deployments.
05
HomeKit HAP
Apple HomeKit Accessory Protocol implementation and Made for HomeKit (MFi) certification readiness.
06
Google Home
Smart Home Actions, local fulfillment SDK, intent handling for cloud and local control paths.
07

Compliance-grade architecture from day one — audit logs, encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access, GDPR controls.
Why smart-home OEMs come to us
Six things our long-term smart-home partners stop worrying about.
The boring infrastructure problems that quietly haunt connected-product roadmaps — eventually solved, then engineered out of existence.
01
Devices that pair on the first try
A device that fails to onboard 5% of the time is a device that ships 1-star reviews and support tickets. We engineer pairing flows that survive contact with real Wi-Fi networks, real phones and real homeowners.
02
OTAs that don't brick the install base
Staged rollouts, A/B canaries, automatic rollback on anomalous telemetry. The OTA pipeline that turns firmware updates from a recall risk into a routine release.
03
A device cloud that scales without re-architecting
Properly engineered Elixir/OTP backends carry 100× more load on the same infrastructure budget than the typical Node.js cloud. We've shipped the configuration; you keep the runway.
04
Interoperability that actually works
Matter, Thread, HomeKit, Google and Alexa all certified — and all working at the same time, in the same home, without weird race conditions. Engineering against the spec is not the same as engineering against the homes.
05
Compliance and security, by design
SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR controls applied at the architecture level. Audit logs, encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access — engineered in, not retrofitted.
06
A senior team that won't disappear
Our average smart-home partnership runs 3+ years. Senior engineers on every engagement — never delegated to juniors or account managers.

Complete Home Control and Automation
Our team developed a complete smart home automation solution. The key challenge was to create an app that manages and controls multiple devices, ensuring an effective security system, energy management, and safety protection. We designed an intuitive interface for robust device automation. The system is centralized, so a single app handles all monitoring and alerting processes.
3D Printing · Marketplace · Web platform
3D Printing Solution
The client asked us to build a universal solution for 3D printing via a marketplace. So we built a web platform that can work with various 3D printers. The app brings together those who want to monetize 3D printers and those looking for an affordable printing service. As a result, our team delivered a solution that satisfies both parties and provides seamless peer-to-peer communication.
